Blue Torrent Brush Inches Orange Reviews Summary

Design and Usability

Pros:

• "This brush is super for cleaning corners and steps."
• "I absolutely love this 360 degree pool brush as no matter what angle you are at, or going around curves or corners, the brush is always touching the surface unlike the typical brushes that have just one narrow strip of brushes."
• "The whale tail flat pool brush is the best brush I’ve found for the flat pool walls, but this Blue Torrent Brush is perfect for corners, stairs, bottom lip of coping, and other spots that are hard to reach with a traditional flat pool brush."
• "One swipe on each stair surface is all you need, while the round '360 degree' effect works like a charm between the horizontal and vertical ledges of the stairs."
• "This is the perfect pool brush with rigid bristles that thoroughly clean while the shape will allow you to sweep curves, steps and walls."
• "The rounded bristle ends on this brush are great. They fit nicely into the deep end insert steps."
• "The design makes reaching bottoms of ladder steps and in skimmer holes so easy!"

Cons:

• "Used once, seemed like it might be ok just to go up & down walls but isn’t flexible enough to clean in rounded corners or non-straight areas."
• "It's not suited for curvy pools, bc it’s missing a curve."
• "The radius on the sides of the brush doesn't allow it to clean where the wall meets any floor or any type of transitioned part."
• "The straight width of the brush covers more area than the bent style pool brush and the rounded ends clean the edges where the pool steps are."
• "It is a good brush. It is just that the length of it makes it too big to stay flat against the walls when cleaning in an up and down motion."
• "The brush is a bit heavy which I can deal with, but it is a nightmare to install and remove from the pole."
• "The brush feels like it sort of sticks to the sides and bottom of the pool so not much effort is required when brushing the pool."

Build Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "It scrubs with a gentle motion, and the metal components will hold up better to chlorine than plastic many brands use."
• "Build quality seems legit."
• "The metal connector is much better than others with plastic!"
• "Very well made and it really knocks out the algae even with all the curves in the pool and still gentle on the pool finish."
• "The brush is made of high-quality materials that are built to withstand the harsh chemicals found in pool water."
• "This is a well made sturdy brush."
• "The brush is very strong & sturdy."

Cons:

• "But 15 minutes into my first pool brushing session, the metal handle snapped near the plastic pins."
• "I was brushing the bottom of a section of my pool and the brushed broke it half."
• "The handle (attachment) erodes quickly. Metal simply eroded, making attaching the brush impossible."
• "I've had this for exactly 6 months and it snapped in half today."
• "It snapped where the metal support ended during the third time using it."
• "Purchased this item and used for 4 months before it snapped in half. Ended having to fish a bunch of bristle hairs out of the pool! Wouldn’t recommend."
• "I made it 1/3 of the way around the pool and the brush broke in two."

Compatibility and Attachment

Pros:

• "Throw away your old pool brush... this brush is much better! Easier to maneuver, easier to keep down on the surface, easier to see where it is and it doesn't 'skutter'."
• "Its also easier to push so it works faster and better - buy one!"
• "I bought this for my husband and he really likes this one better than the old one we used to have, he said is very easy around the corners and it glides easily on the surfers."
• "This brush works great. It’s perfect for brushing stairs and curves as well as the sides of the pool. You won’t be disappointed."
• "I already had a pole so I just connected it to the brush & begin scrubbing."
• "Purchased this to replace the standard angled brush. This is so easy to use for all angles of the pool."
• "This is a great pool brush. Its design helps cut down cleaning time due to its size, rounded ends to get into the corners."

Cons:

• "Product arrived with bristles flattened in key areas. Also pins to lock into pole are poorly designed and difficult to engage."
• "The brush itself does a good job, but removing it and getting it put on the pole is a pain."
• "I want to love this brush but the design is faulty, there is noting to hold the plastic clamp on top so the brush comes off with any scrubbing."
• "The attachment doesn’t stay on your standard pool pole as the piece that goes into the pole is too small and slips out."
• "The clip design makes it really hard to attach the brush to a pole."
• "The spring clip for attaching to your pool pole is so cheap and poorly designed that it doesn’t function."
• "The plastic piece that attaches it to the pole was so cheap and doesn't work well either."
